From paper Sedcards to a tracked casting pipeline

How a model & talent management team turns castings, image-rights buyouts and commission into one connected, auditable flow.

Tracked

SetCard views, not paper Sedcards

missed usage-rights expiries

Locked

numbered commission statements

The starting point

A boutique model and talent management team ran castings from memory and a handful of PDF Sedcards, negotiated image-rights buyouts once per booking and then filed them away, and calculated agency commission in a private spreadsheet nobody else could check.

What changed with TalentM

Casting, rights and commission now share one pipeline:

Roster & SetCards replace the paper Sedcard with a tracked share link — the team sees exactly who viewed a profile, when and how often.

Deals & calendar turn every casting into a pipeline stage with its engagement deadline on the shared team calendar, not a separate email thread.

Contracts & rights attach buyout and usage-rights expiry to the contract itself, with a reminder before a campaign quietly re-runs past its window.

Finance & commission locks effective-dated commission rates into numbered, GoBD-ready statements.

The result

Casting follow-ups happen exactly when a client is looking at a profile, not days later. No usage-rights window expires unnoticed, and commission statements are a number everyone — not just the booker who built the spreadsheet — can trust.

Illustrative example — a representative scenario, not a specific named customer.
